Tuesday Photo Challenge – Family Time Treat
My granddaughter Autumn is nine and a half months old. It is always a treat to visit Mercy, Will, and Autumn. I’m so blessed with the opportunity to visit them once a month so far. Autumn is growing fast and learning new things every day. During my visit from June 26 to July 3, 2018, I watched her eating peanut butter and jelly sandwich by herself. She is a good eater – eats everything given to her. She also started cruising. She took twenty steps on the second day of cruising.
Mercy, Autumn, and I went to a park and had a picnic lunch with Mercy’s friend who just had a six weeks old baby. Autumn had fun on the swing.
We also went to a small rose garden and Battle Ground Lake State Park. It was a fun-filled week for me.

There is a Writers’ Conference from the same group I went. It’s the end of August in Portland, Oregon. I haven’t finished typing the notes from the last conference, so I’ll wait to attend any future one.

Thank you Miriam. I am so glad you are making progress with your memoir. Wonderful. You have so much to share with others on the journey. I found it very healing to get it all on paper.🌼

Yes, I know know if I told you. I first wrote it as a novel because I wasn’t sure how to share my story. Now I read more about other people’s memoir, I’m encouraged to use my own name. The writing conference I went to gave the message that as long as we are not just venting, and we find the universal truth in our journey, it’s okay to share but keep the detail that only benefit the family. The detail benefit the family could be printed in another version just for passing on the legacy. So I’ll have two versions in my folder!! ❤
